Suppose you have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots - they would compete for water and both would die.
Given a flowerbed (represented as an array containing 0 and 1, where 0 means empty and 1 means not empty), and a number n, return if n new flowers can be planted in it without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule.
Example 1:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1 Output: True
Example 2:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2 Output: False
Note:
- The input array won't violate no-adjacent-flowers rule.
- The input array size is in the range of [1, 20000].
- n is a non-negative integer which won't exceed the input array size.

def canPlaceFlowers(self, flowerbed, n):
count = 0
for i in range(0, len(flowerbed)):
if flowerbed[i] == 1:
continue
if i == 0 and i != len(flowerbed) - 1 and flowerbed[i + 1] == 0:
flowerbed[i] = 1
count += 1
elif i != len(flowerbed) - 1 and flowerbed[i] == 0 and flowerbed[i - 1] == 0 and flowerbed[i + 1] == 0:
flowerbed[i] = 1
count += 1
elif i == len(flowerbed) - 1 and flowerbed[i - 1] == 0:
flowerbed[i] = 1
count += 1
return n <= count
